Yet if hope has flown away…

Tonight we had a sisterly bonding session. I bought 7 new bottles of nail polish today and was in a frenzy to use them, but I already have on Frankly Scarlet by Revlon, which, by the way, is fantastic. The color is shimmery but subtle. It looks like a blood red color but not flamboyant. Basically, it’s pretty. You can buy it at Walmart for $3.88, but I bought mine at Ulta for a dollar more. Ulta is expensive, everything costs more at Ulta than generic stores like Walgreens and Walmart that sell nail polish. However, if you are looking for a wide range of colors, or every single color that Revlon makes, Ulta is the place to go. If they don’t have every color ever made by a particular brand, they have most of them. Also checkout the clearance section in the back, sometimes they have great deals. Revlon is expensive, or more costly than Cover Girl and Maybelline nail polish, but I think the money is worth it. I put on Frankly Scarlet today and I could tell the difference: no bubbles, not clumpy, dries quickly, and the polish is smooth on your finger.

Anyway… back to our sisterly bond. I got my little sister to cut and file her nails since it was about time she got them done. Then I painted her nails this really nice dark red shimmery color by Pure Ice called Iced Merlot. [My collection of nail polish is mainly pinks and reds]. I also got my older sister to do her toenails and she chose a light pink color, Cover Girl’s Pink Taffy. I have soo many new colors that I wanted so bad for someone to use them just for the sake of using them. I didn’t want them to lay in my box without ever having been used!

I have a story to tell about my nail polish fiasco today but I will have to postpone that. I’m getting sleepy.

One last thing — today was a good day because I got the Ipod docker thing with speakers.

On Monday Justin and I visited the mall. Justin wanted to stop by Zales to “look around”. We ended up spending 2 hours there, probably an hour and a half at Zales itself. They had a selection of some good wedding bands but the selection wasn’t wide. The lady who helped us was really nice; she kept us there for over an hour just talking to her. At the end, I ended up buying these gold earrings that were on sale (I guess a good deal) to replace the ones I had been wearing for years.

Zales is having a pretty good sale, up to 75%, the lady told me. We saw this pretty gold wedding ring that was over $1000 but went down to just $400. If I was already married I’d get that ring as a backup wedding ring.

And since I haven’t been posting these up, here’s an update picture…

Mr. S’more (one of my Roborovski hamsters) is weird. He likes to sleep in between two things, in other words, enclosed spaces. His food bin is close to the wall of his cage and he sleeps in between the bin and the wall. Then when I bought him a glass bowl to put food in and removed his plastic food bin, he decided to find his igloo. Now he sleeps between his igloo and the wall side of his cage. He looks so adorable when he does that. He just lays flat out.
Mr. Marshmallow likes to eat, sleeping, use the restroom, and play on his wheel. I’m serious, the guy does everything on his wheel! It’s disgusting because the only thing I want him to do with it is run on it. I took a few pictures of Mr. Marshmallow sleeping on his wheel. His body curves with it.

Well enough with the hamsters. I’ve been sleeping on an irregular schedule. I sleep during the day and stay up from 1am to like… 10 am. Justin and I are not on the same sleep/wake schedule anymore. When I wake up, he goes to sleep, and vice versa. I wish I had something great to do this summer. Any suggestions?

Also… Has anyone taken the MCATs before? I’d like suggestions as to what books are good for studying for the MCAT.

…Yesterday I went to Victoria’s Secret. They had lots of things on sale so I got this bag that went along with Dream Angels ‘Desire’. MMM that smells realllllly good. I was thinking how come I never bought this before.

Mine and Justin’s anniversary is coming, it’s actually June 30th when I became engaged two years ago. I have no idea what to get him. What is appropriate for an anniversary? Suggestions PLEASE!!!!!!

My brother graduated, and we all attended his graduation. It was pretty fun. Our cousins and uncle and aunt were there. We ate at a buffet after the graduation ceremony in Arlington. There was so much food. They had Mongolian Barbecue, Japanese buffet, Chinese, and American. I hardly ate the dessert because I was already full. Then later on that night we ate at Bistro B and it was ok for me. I thought the restaurant was a little too lavish in its decor. First off, they played club music while we eat, so the setting was lively. They had a total of 14 large screen Vizio TVs in the restaurant: 2 in the front, 2 in each bathroom, and the rest of the 10 all around it. Then I spotted a VAIO desktop for customers’ use.  My food wasn’t all that great….

Justin started working. Sometimes he works strange hours. I don’t like it. He also started school, which means every Sunday nights and Tuesday nights we have to sleep at his house. [We always spend time at my house if there's nothing to do at his].

A few days ago Mumsie told me that Maya was outside in our backyard barking at something. She came out and found Maya with her paw on a poor frog [Maya had been hunting for that frog day and night]. Then Maya started barking at the frog. How funny and silly. Maya’s such a bully. She’s the biggest thing in our backyard.

Today Lexi found a worm [don't know if it was an earthworm, but I am afraid of worms]. I heard her barking from my room and went out to see what it was. She was sniffing around and probably injured that worm. Then she barked at it like it was going to do something to her, lol.

Yesterday Dad started working on the front yard. He killed the grass and put these tiles in place of them. He also chopped down branches of our big tree and cut down a bush. I think he ordered a lot of flowers and is getting ready to plant them all over the place. Hopefully everything will turn out OK.

As for me, I’ve been playing The Sims Bon Voyage since I just bought it a week and a half ago. It’s an OK game, but if I could go back, I would choose a different Sims game.

Here are a few pictures from my brother’s graduation day….
